What you want would be easy to find around here (DC/Baltimore/Metropolitan area). The only thing that might be a little harder to find would be the 20" wheels, most of the X5's that I see come with...

It's a nice looking car - and basically Yorktown is very close to VA Beach where the other one is located. But it has the 4.8 engine and I'm trying to stick with the 4.4.

Actually I've thought about that. There was a very low mile 2006 model at BMW of Bel Air that I let get by. A little pricey but for the miles it really wasn't a bad deal at all. I kind of kick...

That's for sure, it would be unique. I ordered my Tahoe for the same reason, it's bright red - what Chevrolet calls Victory Red - and it's available by special order for the whopping price...

Yes it's really disappointing that BMW doesn't do the Priority 1 option of Imola Red for $2500 like they used to. I'd probably bite the bullet and go for a new one if that were an option.

I was here back at that time, I had an '05 E53. Traded it on a Tahoe in Oct 2010. Within the next year I'm getting ready to take the plunge and buy another X5.

Lol, the Tahoe is nearly perfect. ...

Hmm, never really thought about that. Do wraps last a long time, and would the gloss be the same as a factory paint job - or nearly the same?

If there were any doubt to my sanity, I think this pretty much resolves it.

Can't beat the price on Mobil 1 there! I use full synthetic for my X5.
